It is with great sorrow that I received this message from Joe Montrose about Dan’s passing at 12:15 am Monday July 2, 2018.

“My friend Dan Trandafir passed away in the early hours of this morning. Dan was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease. He had a tough time these last few weeks and all he wanted to do was to start chemotherapy. Unfortunately, by the time it was started, his body was already weak and just could not cope with all of the medications that were being used to try to keep him going. HE was my friend, my gentle giant. I always joked with him about his being from Transylvania. He had one of the biggest hearts of anyone that I have ever known. He will be missed.” – Joe Montrose.

Below is the GO FUND me account info to help with the funeral expenses. “Unfortunately Dan, who was only in his 40’s, had no estate planning in order. We are raising fund for his cremation and to get his ashes back to his family in Romania. I don’t think his family is very well off at all.
